Both students and graduates have acquiesced for years in this, and having acquiesced in it, many of them have acquired the habit of procuring good tickets through their friends among the players and coaches instead of taking their chances with the other students and graduates.

The majority of the immigrants that have come to this country in the past have been poor, but they have become easily assimilated to American conditions of life and habit and have become good citizens. We should not, therefore, exclude further those who are coming...
